Embrace the darkness.. :D

A certain someone will love you. /s

I have noticed since Lauda was demoted that spam messages remain a lot longer than they used to.   :-\

Yup, I have noticed that too. Reported low quality threads in the Bitcoin section take for ever to either get deleted or moved to off-topic. Reports of certain threads that obviously belong in other sections are ignored, or moved after a few days, etc. I understand that admins, global moderators and other staff members might be bussy, but this is making the forum go backwards. Plenty of newbie accounts popping up quoting each other with worthless gibberish to level up... Also, since Lauda is no longer a mod, it's play time for FarmCorporation.

Why he is not a mod now? He was an awesome staff.

FarmCorporation is never unhappy even lauda is here, spamming is everywhere, not only in BCTALK forum.

Browse through the forum and you might get a clue.


Lauda as staff member had the ability to nuke newbie accounts that potentially could generate plenty of sig spam and account sales at the time they ranked up. If you exterminate the problem where it starts (newbies in this case), then eventually it will lead to a cleaner forum. Who's going to nuke these accounts now? Exactly... It's party time for account farmers looking to expand their farm gang.

The Bitcoin Discussion Section's moderator is only Hilarious&Co. So nobody apart from Hilarious and other global moderators were involved in moving the threads, unless the threads were created by newbies.



That could be a valid reason. But I doubt if its effect - (newbies who could have been nuked, growing their account and spamming) is already visible.

I couldn't agree more,if ever my forum grow like Bitcointalk I would need someone of Lauda's caliber to fight spam,even if he/she is not a staff anymore she /he is still in fighting to keep this forum clean ,I'm sure she/he can get his/her position back

I don't understand why people think nuking newbi accounts helps. It literally takes 90 seconds to make a new bitcointalk account, I think that the nuking option should be expanded to the rank of member...

And most if not all signature campaigns do not start until Jr member/member. I cannot remember the last time I saw a newbi signature campaign.

You're forgetting about the units of evil.

Gossip says lauda was the most paid/most active non-global in January.

Both Hilariousandco and cyrus made more than Lauda in January. Mitchell and EAL made nearly as much as Lauda.

Lauda however did have more instances of extortion than all the other moderators combined in January.

Last I checked both Hilarious and Cyrus were indeed global moderators, any of them got demoted recently?

Most of the threads that required action were created by newbies, where the spam bots that constantly pop up with their health stuff are also part of. But then again, nothing justifies threads not being moved for days while it's obvious that it belongs elsewhere. Some of them are still there while I thought that low quality threads were not allowed anymore...


Newbie spam being visible is one thing, whether or not (now Lauda is not a mod anymore) action will be taken against these newbies, is a completely different thing. And I am not talking about having a few spammy posts deleted. Spam as we used to see isn't the same anymore as even these farmers try to bump the "quality" of their post to make thesmelves look like a natural poster.


You know what the funny thing is, if you as mod don't fight spam you aren't being appreciated, but if you do fight spam, then once again it's not helping your popularity go up. It's almost impossible to do good here. That's why it's important to keep supporting those that fight spam and account farmers.

How do you know how much the mods were paid? Is there a list somewhere?


If the forum staff really wanted reduce spam they would hire more moderators. They could also give Lauda a warning or suspend him instead of kicking out permanently.

It is public information on the blockchain. Just check the transaction that theymos sends to the moderators. He sends to the address in each moderators' profile.

Since lauda get demoted have much spammer and scam projects  ;D

Hiring more moderators isn't directly needed, but more an already existing highly active staff member to get promoted to global moderator to deal with everything. Still, low quality threads don't get removed or moved to off-topic, threads that belong elsewhere still remain in the Bitcoin discussion section, etc.


Yup. Lauda was most likely touching sensitive spots by being so active and anti farming/spam, that something was needed to get him demoted.

2 days since you registered and such immense knowledge bro ? How you know earlier a lot of spam was there and that was deleted ?

He is an alt of 0x0010 and he keeps creating new accounts with names very similar to each other. He got what he deserved. The Red Trust trophy.

Yep, I think that's the truth.  Lauda as staff member was too effective and too much of a pain in the arse for theymos' account farmer friends....

An alt? Get off your high horse cunt

Hhaha im not alt account :)
Im from singapore , whats 0x0010 can speak melayu like me :D
